Why do CAS players so vocally oppose any suggestions

Yes, SPAA is of course capable of using cover.

It absolutely does. The spawn is the first location every cas player looks for SPAA. And if you know they are there you ping it on the map and know exactly where to pop up. If you hide somewhere else on the map it is way harder to find and engage the SPAA.

Yes, which doesn’t change the fact that you can make it challenging for them and have a quite high chance of killing them.

If You allow it to hide or attack it at the moment that it can hide, that is just a skill issue You have.

It is really not. Finding even hiding SPAA from a higher distance where obstacles don’t render is easy.

SPAA player doesn’t make anything challanging as the outcome is already decided.

Maybe thats just a skill issue on your part then.

There are players that hate CAS because they want a tank battle, and an air raid isn’t the same. (I guess it would surprise you that they aren’t all noobs, but then hardcore tankers keep quitting this air-raid game.)

There are players that hate CAS because SPAA isn’t a counter to CAS, only other airplanes. Believe-it-or-not, there are players without any interest or talent in flying, so grabbing an airplane isn’t really a tool in their box. Having SPAA not counter aircraft means they experience an imbalance that is not in their favor as they try to have a tank battle.

Why do you gusy even argue with those noob CAS players…

yeah, if they add a new mode a I cant imagine the time we will need to find a match, this is already problem in a lot of BRs

Strange. I play all BRs and waiting time is never longer than 20 secs

I agree with you! If Gaijin starts giving bonuses (+ lion or XP) for killing planes and helis in a GRB, it could encourage players to learn how to counter CAS. It would promote team play because, when you’re just playing tanks and keep getting killed by planes, the first thing you should do is to pick a SPAA or a plane.

yea but they rather spawn the next tank and get bombed again, then come here to whine.

No. They would rather spawn their next tank and fight against other tanks.

Which ones? I would like to test it out.

They can’t respawn in them without having to pay increased SP costs and spending a backup though. I would like to see proper despawn zones, which also allow to respawn a used vehicle that has been despawned there for free. (For all branches)

Still they are the only unit that can do that.

If the same rules applied to the ground I would have no issues.

Yeah, you can start with 12.7.

And if you are playing with a squad with different nations , you can do it in all BRs. And If you do it in 12.7, we can sit a long time wait for a match

Ah so You don’t have problem in playing at 12.7 but rather creating a squadron with nations that rarely play together.

No, it’s hard to find a match alone, and finding a match with your squad is even harder. I’ve tried all possible combinations of nations

Oh, I can’t find a tank with 12.7 B.R. so I can’t really test how rotation works for people playing only Ground in Ground Battles. If You are having a problem at the B.R. higher than the B.R. of best ground units, You would have the same issue when players playing only ground would play a mode dedicated for ground vs ground combat.

I tested at the moment how long I had to wait for a match in:

M1A2 SEP V2 (EU server): 2 secounds
Leo 2A6 : 5 secounds

Its rare to see who has a top tier in aircraft and tank in the same nation, Gaijin should remove 12.7.

12.7 is for who plays 12.7 planes in GRB

But in others tiers matches when you play in squad, mainly if you put small nations, like Israel and Sweden, its really hard to find a match.

Probably should be given that we have a multitude of SPAA/AD options that can kill most helicopters relatively effectively.
